A Fatal Ride.

WESTON, w. Va, Oct. 25.-Four
weeks ago while out riding in COM
pany with crowd of young ladies',
Miss Caddie Ames visiting here from
Wauleena, Florida, was thrown from
her horse and received internal in
juries which confined her to her room
for few days, which occurrence was
mentioned in the Iatelligencer st the
time. Shortly after what was sup
posed to be her complete recovery
she went to see relative in Walkers
vile, some eighteen miles from here.
Nothing more was thought of her
condition until noon to-day, when a
special messenger came in at break
neck speed bringing the sad news
that she was dying from the effects
of her fall. Miss Ames is connected
With some of the first families of
West Virginia and is well liked.
Word reaches us, however, that Miss
Ames is better and that there are
hopes of her recovery.

An Appeal to West virginians.

PARKERsBURd, w. Va, Oct. 25---
The people of Spencer, in Roane
county, have sent out pitiful APP
peal to the people of the state for aid.
The appeal states that nearly all of
the business men have been financial
ly ruined, their business property
and dwelling houses being destroyed;
that the pnblic buildings are sll gone;
that a great many families are home
less, without any clothing except
what they have on; that the past sea-
son has been such severe one on
crops, that the neighboring farmers
can do no more than take care of
themselves. Many families slept out
doors on Friday and Saturday night.
and many more are subsisting on
charity. The appeal asks aid from
any part Of the state in money or
clothing, and requests that it be sent
to the mayor of the city.

The Supply and Demand of Wheat
For 1887.

Bradstreet's Of last week estimates
the available surplus Of this years
crop of wheat for export from the
United States at eighty-three mil
lions OF bushels, and including all
other exporting countries, two hum
dred millions of bushels. The esti-
mated European demand, taking the
mean Of the figures presented, is put
at two hundred and thirty-eight mil
lions Of bushels. But, if the reserves
held over from last years crop are
taken into account, the opinion is ex-
pressed that Requirements and sup
plies will be so nearly equal, in case
India and Australia shall meet expec-
tations, that, without political COM
plications or speculations, there may
not be any considerable advance or
any important decline in values" As
the German empire is putting dis
eliminating duties on all Russian
products, and as the surplus of wheat
Of that empire is said to equal that Of
the United States, there would seem
to be a possibility of some increase
in the price of exported American
wheat. But, while we can approx
mate the probable amount OF our own
surplus for export, it is difficult to do
more than roughly estimate the pos
sible export from other countries.
One fact seems, however, to be APP
parent, and that is, the price of wheat
is not likely to decline.

Through the state.

The Cotton Opera House, at
Charleston, has been sold to the
Kanawha Valley Bank for the sum
OF $4,000.
Gen. Alfred Beckley, OF Ralcisa
county. was Sc years of age last
May and is said to be the oldest liv-
ing graduate of the Military Acade-
my at West Point.
Joe Shaver. Frenchman, living
in Greenbrier county, and noted
somewhat for convivial habits, was
brutallv assaulted late one night re-
Gently as he was on his way home,
and left for dead. There is small
hope of mis- recovery.
A. C. Fulkerson, a former mem
bea of the Legislature from Wayne
county, who went West and located
in Kearney county, kas., several
years since, has been made judge
and recently purchased the Greedy
County Gazette. He is making his
mark rapidly.
Cain Adkins and Paris Brumiield,
two Lincoln county citizens, became
engaged in quarrel over pending
lawsuit, and Brum6eld slapped Ad-
kin's face. Green Mccoy, a son IN
law of Adkins. with a revolver in
his hand, assaulted Brumfield,
knocking him down with a weight,
and before he could rise sprang up
on him and put out one of his eyes
and fractured his skull in several
places with the weight. Brumtield
has record" of having killed two
or three men, He can not recover.
A. f. Shirer, of Fetterman, has
about recovered from the effects of q
spider bite, but he was for some time
on the very verge OF dying. The
place when he first noticed it, was
so small that it was neary impercep
tible, and he is not positive that it
was spider that bit him, but for
nearly one month he suffered the
greatest pain from it and his hand
and arm were. swollen TO three times
their natural size. On his left hand
where the little finger joins the hand
a large running sore developed and
from this the swelling spread.
Jailor John Ferguson, Of Wayne
county, arrested Sylvester Aliff on
an attachment. Aliff asked to be
allowed to go and get his banjo.
Ferguson agreed, but said that he
would go with him and warned him
not to try and escape. Suddenly
Aliff darted away on run. Fergu
son followed but as Aliff was gain
ing ground, he pulled his revolver
and fired at him and hit him in the
leg. Aliff's wife got divorce from
him at the September term, and an
injunction, enjoining him from cut
ting and destroying timber on her
land. He continued to cut timber
in oped defiance Of the injunction
and kept upthe turmoil and an attach
ment was sued out for his arrest. He
had been lodging the officers for
several weeks.

Henry J. Spencer on Trial For Murder

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Oct. 26.-The
jury was completed to-day in the
case OF Henry j. Spencer, charged
with the murder of w. Scott Daw-
son, at Rawlings, last July, The
killing, according to Spencer's own
statement just after the occurrence,
was long premeditated, his motive
having been revenge for crime
committed eight years ago by Daw-
son against the girl who afterwards
became Spencer wife. Dawson
served a term in thepenitentiary for
the outrage and returned to Raw
lings about two years ago. Mean
time the victim Of the crime, Spen-
GERS wife, who was also Dawson's
cousin, had died. After Dawson's
return, Spencer saw him at different
times, though himself away a good
deal, having secured employment
elsewhere. On the day of the shoot
ing he went Dawson's house, which
he left with the latter apparently in
friendly conversation. After walk
ing a short distance, he shot Dawson
who died Immediately
States Attorney Richmond con-
ducts the prosecution and J. w.
Thomas and ID. w. Sloan the de
Tense. The opening statement OF
Spencer's counsel showed that the
defense will be insanity; that his
mind became unhinged by brooding
over the wrong done bis wife also,
that his mother was of weak intel
lect. The State examined number
Of witnesses, who described the
sh ,oting as heretofore published.
Spencer took the, stand in his behalf,
but had made no important state
ments when court adjourned.

Modern Wisdom.

A good conscience is the best
divinity.
Nothing shows greater abjectness
of spirit than a naughty demeanor
towards interiors.
Many men claim to be firm in their
principles when really they are only
obstinate in their prejudices.
Ingratitude is, of all crimes, what
in ourselves we account the most
venial-in others the most unpar-
donable.
Experience is good school, but
it keeps US TOO long, and the tuition
bills are too costly for fellow who
is in hurry for diploma
A moderate understanding, with
diligent and well-directed applica-
ton, will go much farther than y
more lively genius attended with
impotence and inattention which
too often accompany quick parts.
Though years bring with them
wisdom, yet there is one lesson the
aged seldom learn, namely, the
management of youthful feelings.
Age is all head, youth all heart age
reasons, youth is under the domin-
ion of hope.
A pair OF bright ayes with dozen
chances, sufiices TO subdue a man
and to enslave him, and to inhame, TO
make him even forget; they dazzle
him so that the past becomes
straightway dim TO him, and he so
prizes them that he would give all,
his life TO possess them.
1t is no wonder if he who reads,
converses and meditates improves in
knowledge. BY the first a man con
verses with the dead, by the second
with the living and by the third with
himself; so that he appropriates TO
himself all the knowledge which can
be got from those who have lived
and from those now alive.

In Brief. And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one OF the most complicated and won
derful thinge in existence. 1t is east
ly put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits. aud many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business aud making TIE
American people 50 healthy that thoy
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness wifb-

To the end that we may, with one

West VAS. Senatorial Tangie.
CHAT WITH THE HON. DANIEL b. LUCAS
ABOUT THE SITUATION.
(hicapo rrihunp

A CHAT WITH THE HON. DANIEL b. LUCAS
ABOUT THE SITUATION.
Chicago Tribune.
The Hon. Daniel b. Lucas, who
was appointed by Governor Wilson, OF
West Virginia, United States Sena-
tor, is of the Grand Pacific. Mr..
Lucas holds certificate of election
to the Senate, but whether he will
take his seat and retain it will de-
pend upon the action of tho Com
mittee on Privileges and elections
and the Senate itself. which is the
Judge of the qualifications of its own
mem bers. The case of Mr.. Lucas
is peculiar one, and among other
questions involved is one question
ing the power of an Executive ses
sion to elect United States Stna
tor. The Legislature of West Vir.
ginia held its biennial session We'd
nesday, January 3, 1887, and from
that time up till February IS, ballot
every day tor the election of Uni
ted Senator to succeed Johnson N,
Camden. They failed to elect, and
Gov. Wilson appointed Mr.. Lucas
Senator "until the next meeting OF
the Legislature March S, 1887,
Governor Wilson issued a proclama-
ton converting the Legislature in
extra session, commencing the third
Wednesday in April, for the pur-
pose of passing an appropriation bill
and to act on Executive nominations
to office. May 3 this body proceed
ed to elect United States Senator,
and, after balloting for several days,
Judge Charles j. Faulkner received
majority of all the votes of the
Joint Assembly, and the presiding
officer declared him elected. Judge
Faulkner, therefore, resigned his
office az Judge of the Thirteenth Jul
dcial Circuit, and Governor Wilson
accepted the resignation.
Messrs. Faulkner and Lucas will
appear before the United States Sen
ate at it's next session, the latter with
his certificate from Gov. Wilson and
the former with copy Of his records
of the Joint Assembly in extra SEES
sion which elected him. Judge
Cooley is counsel for Mr.. Lucas
The latter's plea will be that Faulk-
ner's election was not valid because
the Constitution of the State denies
to an Executive special session the
power to enter upon any business ex
cept that named by the Governor in
his proclamation converting such q
body. That proclamation, it will be
set forth, did not refer to the Sena-
torship, and hence the Joint Assem-
bly, which elected Mr.. Faulkner was
not the Legislature of Wsst Virginia
but an unauthorized and illegal body.
